Describe deforestation's ill-effects,preventive measures and the kings in the past who saved forests.?

Answer 1

With the recent green tax bill being passed in the assembly the first thing that comes to my mind is the main cause of pollution.Yes what I am thinking about is deforestation.
Forests are the most natural resources for man.It has immense value to the human civilization.Forests constitute about one –third of the earth’s surface.Thousands of different species of plants are found in forests.
Forests provide a rich variety of goods usefut to industries and to rural people.Forest is one of the important factor for keeping a proper environment. It prevents erosion of the soil by wind and water. Forests increase the atmospheric humidity by releasing water vapor from sub soil during transpiration. And most essentially
forests reduce the atmospheric pollution by using carbon di oxide.
In spite of all this man is destroying forests relentlessly at an alarming rate. The destruction of forests is a serious threat to the economy and environment of the country. Deforestation leads to many short term and long term effects on the environment, land masses and animal species. According to an estimate the total forest area in India was 7000 million hectares in 1900 which have been gradually decreased to 2890 million hectares in 1975 .With the deforestation trend the country had only 2370 million hectares of forests by the end of 2001.
The main cause of deforestation is the ever increasing human population and live stock .As a result of the explosion of human population, the requirement of timber, wood, fuel, land for cropping and farming .Industrialization is also a major cause for elimination of forest areas .Development of industries such as paper industry, plywood industry which are based on forest products such as bamboos cause gradual decline in forests .Mining ,quarrying, irrigation and agriculture are also responsible for large scale deforestation .
There are many hazards caused by deforestation. Deforestation has intensified soil erosion tenfold .Loss of vegetation causes the loosening of soil which in turn causes soil erosion.
Large scale deforestation causes disastrous floods which in turn causes mass destruction of natural vegetation and loss to life and property. Deforestation destroys the natural habitats of hundreds of animals. As a result of deforestation more and more land is being converted into deserts .Deforestation leads to the deficiency of rainfall as forests cause rains. Ultimately the fertile land is converted to an unyielding piece of barren land.
The importance of forests is well indicated in our Vedic and other scriptures and other old religious literatures. Chandra Gupta Maurya and Chanakya took keen interest in conservation of forests .Chanakya even suggested the creation of National parks in his Artha Shastra .Forest management and conservation processes are essential to maintain the forest in natural state .For successful curbing of deforestation causes for depletion are to be found out. Forests are generally destroyed by fire, improper cutting of trees and killing of animals .Once a forest is destroyed it takes several years to regenerate vegetation.
The basic objectives of forest conservation are:
1. Maintenance of forest eco system in proper shape
2. Conservation of biological diversity.
3. Checking erosion of the soil.
4. Increasing of forest areas.
Conservation measures include both management of existing forests and renovation of forest areas where extensive deforestation has occurred .The following measures should be taken into consideration for scientific for scientific conservation and management of forests:
1. Use of wood for fuel should be discouraged instead biogas and solar energy should be used.
2. As, industrialization is essential for the economic development of a country industries should be encouraged but it should be made compulsory that a new plant should be planted for every tree cut.
3. Another programme namely the agro forestry programme should be implemented it includes planting of trees for forestry, farming and animal husbandry on the same land
4. Afforestation programmes should also be implemented in areas of intense deforestation
Hence we must do all that we can to curb deforestation to ensure a brighter and secure future for mankind .I am sure that we can abolish this evil – deforestation if we can make a joint effort not only globally but also locally in other words glocally.
I believe if all of us cooperate and follow all the measures mentioned above the word deforestation would be non-existent.
So friends let us all do our part in curbing deforestation for,” Save forests, forests will save mankind”.

Answer 2

Ill Effects Of Deforestation

Answer 3

The great ill effect of deforstation is the GLOBAL Warming what we are meeting today. As the Trees get uprooted the soil cover was removed during the flood time so the soil fertility destroyed. There was a problem of destruction from rain either heavy rain or NO rain. The total world is under the threat of destroyed totally and there is no place for man to live.

Answer 4

There's an interesting issue going on now in Brazil. As many of you know, Brazil is the world's leader in producing ethanol from biomass (sugarcane). In fact, they no longer import oil ... almost all fuel for automobiles come from sugarcane. However, they are cutting down forests in order to create more farmland for growing sugarcane.

Answer 5

ill effects include loss of habitat, loss of production of oxygen, loss of building material, soil erosion.

Preventative measures are responsible harvesting, including replanting and diversivication.

Best "king" from the past was probably shogun Tokogawa: (Japan).
